TREATMENT FOR PITCHER— GOOSEBERRIES another term, Mrs. Vance Phillips, Mrs. Safford and Miss 
Mariam L. Candler Peacock being the instructors from New York. 
CARE should be used in sketching in this design. 
Keep the beiries as transparent as possible, 
using a light wash of Silver Yellow for the center of 
the prominent berries, modeling them with Moss 
Green, Brown Green and a light wash of Deep Red 
Brown on some of the riper ones. For the leaves use 
Moss Green, Brown Green, Russian Green and Shad- 
ing Green, laid in flat washes. The shadow leaves 
and berries are painted in Warm Grey and Violet. 
Keep those fading into the background in the cool 
shades, viz : a little deep Blue Green, mixed with 
Warm Grey or Violet of Iron. For the background 
use Dark Green and Roman Purple on the lower 
part of the handle, and around the lower part of the 
pitcher down to the base, then carefully blend the 
following colors: Apple Green, Russian Green and 
Ivory Glaze, keeping light tones near the top of the 
pitcher. For the second firing use the same colors, 
modeling and strengthening where needed. A little 
Finishing Brown may be used in accenting the leaves. 
Before firing, when the tints are dry, glaze with the 
same powder colors that were used in the background.

the lower part of the vase are yellow green. The 
upper part to be tinted a pale blue green, with a 
deeper tone of the same in the water part above the 
border (use Apple and Russian Green). Outline the

A member of the Bridgeport Ker- 
amic Art Club gave a dinner, at which 
the new President, Mrs. Fannie 
Rowell, was the guest of honor. Mrs. Rowell will 
hereafter spend part of her time in Bridgeport, having 
recently built a studio there, and at the same time 
continue her work at her New York studio. The club 
is to be congratulated upon its choice for President. 
The Alfred Summer School of 
Keramics has just finished its second 
successful season. 
Mr. Marshal Fry has been so busy with pupils 
that he has had very little time to devote to under- 
glaze study, but he has nevertheless, laid a good foun- 
dation for the future, and we look for something quite 
worth while before long in this line. 
Miss Maud and Miss Bessie Mason have spent the 
summer at Ipswich with Mr. Dow. We are looking 
for an interesting account from them of the work in 
designs there under his instruction. 
The Chautauqua Summer School has also closed DESIGN FOR VASE, ARROW HEAD-GERTRUDE M. BROWN
